NBC did a bit of cleaning house yesterday afternoon in order to make room for their new TV offerings next season. On yesterday’s chopping block were bubble shows 1600 Penn and Guys With Kids as well as shows Whitney and Deception, we pretty much new these were done but nothing official had been announced. NBC also made it official that the comedy Up All Night will not be returning, this isn’t too shocking considering that lead Christina Applegate left the show after her friend and showrunner Emily Spivey was let go.

In it’s announcement, NBC is moving forward with two dramas including the Dermot Mulroney lead Crisis and three comedies including Sean Save the World starring Sean Hayes. NBC passed on a number of pilots that included The Sixth Gun from Carlton Cuse and Hatfields & McCoys.

Here is a closer look at NBC’s new additions:
